[quote=kirsty_to_stay][quote=1434neopets][quote=Dmitri] (And I often see NB ads hosted on imageshack go fine) which is a huge problem since last year, any image hosted on image shack would crap out after 1 hour because of bandwidth overusage[/quote] Not true. I've been using imageshack and it hasn't gone bad on me. Especially that it does not "crap out after 1 hour". But what do I know, right? You're in for a surprise.

My personal opinion on NB ads, is that people tend to overkill them. " I'm going to be in 2 ads, 3 ads, 4 ads, and expect them to do all the work for me". Quite frankly, that's not how it works. Much like running for politics, you need the grassroots aspect. In translation to neopets, the free advertising. You need to go to the shop ads neoboard and advertise. You need to chat on the other boards and make yourself known. It's not all about the NB. I personally do 3 NB ads, because, well one is require, but the other two are dirt cheap, as in under 200K each. I would never pay over 200K for a 4 mil ad. That is just a waste to me. Why pay almost 400K for an ad space when you can get in to two different ads for that same price? That's a clear waste of NP! I think one ad is enough if you're doing some work on the grassroots end. Sorry if my thought are sporadic, my valium makes my thoughts all crazy like. lol

I get a ton of views from the shop ads board. It's a solid 45% of my shop hits. I know I wouldn't get as many hits as I do without that board :P

I was in the ad with you Kirsty, I sold a total of 7 codestones/faeries that day and I had the training spot....

The SAC isn't always abouts hits. It's about getting yourself known. If people know who you are (see you on the boards a lot), the chances are they'll stop by your shop when they see you on the boards. This is especially true with newer players

I'm thinking/hoping that it's just a seasonal thing and that the nb will be helpful again once the kiddies are out of school for the summer. I also didn't see much of an increase in sales on the peak day for the nb advert that I'm on. 230k, though? you must have been mortified....considering your category (the same as mine) you should be seeing way more profit than that on a day when you are NOT on an nb advert, so to only get that much profit on peak day would be horrible. ~~~ bête noire (bet-NWAHR) noun: An object or person that is particularly disliked or that is to be avoided

That's what I've been trying to tell my participants! They complain about bad sales but they haven't done anything but sit on their butts waiting for people to buy their stuff. I, on the other hand, had been getting tremendous sales because I commit to advertise my shop in every way possible via boards, forums, ads, etc. You're in for a surprise.
